Which home-practice amplifier (e.g., Vox VT20, Roland Cube 20-XL, or Laney Prism P35) is best for this guitar?

Any of those would work fine as a practice amp, but the Roland Cube series generally has outstanding features, a more pro-quality sound and above-average reliability for the price.

I use a Roland Cube. This headphone is terrible. All muddy bass - so yeah if you're a bass guitarist.

Yes! I play mostly acoustic. I have used my Taylor T5 on with a TC Helicon Voicelive 3 with this PA and it sounds great. I would love to purchase another in the future for stereo effect.

Definitely avoid Audiosource. I ended up buying a DBX 215 graphic EQ. I've used DBX equipment in the past and it's solid professional stuff. The 215 is a 15 band EQ which is designed for a rack system and for musical instruments but is slim and small enough to fit in with your home sound system. The only adjustment you'll need are 4 plug adapters that you can get from Radio Shack with an RCA female input from your stereo to a male standard guitar output. They're inexpensive, only a few dollars. I've had DBX for a few years now with excellent results. No distortion, just excellent professional sound quality. I bought it off of Amazon. You might have to go to the musical instrument section on Amazon to find it. It does boost the volume and sound but whether it would act as a good preamp I'm not sure. My system is disc player to EQ to amp. I haven't used my turntable is years. Good Luck

Hey, i bought one a few months back and it came with the 10amp which is kinda small. It doesnt sound bad, it has -bass, middle, treble, a gain control and boost control along with the volume. The 20 would probably have better output if you can get it, the 20 was not offered when i got mine. Hope this helps, Thanks Michael P.

I use a Bellari VP 130 Tube Phono Preamp...but used a different tube than the one that came with the amp. Sounds great.

For my amp I am using a Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 18 with a tubemeister 112 cabinet. For playing straight to the pedal I used ATH-M50 Headphones. If you do not have this effects pedal, I HIGHLY suggest you do, it is fantastic.

This is a great buy. Bought one for my 5 year old and it plays great. I would recommend an amp and guitar cord(cable). You COULD also/instead buy a multiFX pedal that has a headphones out jack (if noise in the house is going to be a problem). Digitech makes some good multiFX pedals that have distortions, chorus, wahwah, etc preprogrammed. This is the setup I have for my kids for practicing in the house. You will still need a guitar cord(cable) to plug into the pedal and possibly earphones that have a longer cord on them. Just a suggestion.

I use the vox amphone ac30...I use the guitar mostly in hotels so I bought the amphone which allows me to play at any time. But that dependes on what you want.

I would recommend the Peavey VIP 3. It has a lot of the features that this amp has and you are able to control the power of the output. This allows you to play at very low volumes. It's hard to explain how it works exactly, but I would go into a music store that supplies the amp and try it out. With this amp and the Peavey amp, you can also buy the foot controller which has an expression (volume) pedal that is compatible with your amp and it sounds better than using your guitar's volume. Both amps also allow you to plug in your earphones.

Yes, it's been a great little practice amp for me and my boys. For a couple more bucks my buddy bought the next model up which includes a jack for microphone. I'd get that one if i were buying another.

Hall effect is the only real defiance you my hear, The EH Holy Grail has a tighter sound, Behringer DR600 has a off time sound, you may find the stomp boxes disappointing the Vox may not have the flexibility, but the sound will be much the same.

I use this one, its actually pretty good for the money. Behringer X V-AMP Amplifier/Multi-Effects Processor

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.

Bought myself the Crown x4000 amplifier. Here it is for $300, I believe it's on sale right now? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/crown-x4000-stereo-2x1350w-power-ampWorks fine, haven't had a problem and it pushes these speakers perfectly!

Plenty for bedroom use, and can shake the windows with a little dirt. I use an old Peavey 12" extension cab as output. I'll use my Fender Mustang III if I want to go quiet and clean - it's 100 Watts, but has a master volume that doesn't change the tone much at low volumes.
